Gee who would have thought a guy that was known to refuse to pay the contractors who worked for him, or the other guy who refused to pay rent on his company headquarters would gain power and the refuse to pay government agencies and their contractors??
We knew trump was like this in 2016.

Urging the 6 pro unitary executive, Federalist Society darlings on SCOTUS to direct the current administration to honor contracts and pay for past lawfully provided services is akin to suggesting the Court uphold the rule of law…gotta bridge to sell all those that believe that will happen.

What way do you think they’re leaning?

They were never giving presidential immunity to Harris.Thomas's wife has been paid by The Heritage Foundation over the years. Huge proponents of Project 2025. They are more than Federalist Society members there are some Opus Dei members in the ranks. Since July's immunity ruling, they're complicit.

The court could act on the Trump administration's bid to delay making the payments as soon as this afternoon.

This is it. A #SupremCourt rubber stamp of trump’s illegal dismantling of some agencies means democracy is fully dead and the Klepto-Autocracy is fully in charge.

Who you gonna call? The guys who’s paychecks depends on Trump and Elon’s index finger? Just a click and you’re broke, locked out of your accounts, and on the deportation list for being a threat to national security!!!😎

God I hope so. Or ... I suppose they could delay making their decision and string this along to the WH's benefit?

I suspect they'll slow walk it, like the Trump immunity case.

"The government’s continued noncompliance with the district
court’s TRO forced one respondent to lay off 110 employees yesterday. Another will default on severance obligations, triggering civil liability and potential regulatory enforcement," USAID contractors say.

Could, but they will probably wait until Christmas.

If the Supreme Court doesn't enforce the judge's order to make the payments, then they are disrespecting all federal judges.

Now that trump and his donors own the Supreme Court do we expect anything that would help Americans ?!!!

lemarcdesruisseaux.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Trump Not paying his bills ?? Sounds familiar.. nothing’s changed.. always screwing people, being sued and suing them.. is this the “Art of the Deal?”

cyborgnot.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Apart from constitutional issues, how can it be legal not to pay for services already rendered??

creativeravenaz.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Trump has a long history of stiffing his contractors....he should have faced the consequences years ago

richierichard.bsky.social•6 hours ago
